Leonard Peltier’s 71st Birthday Party in San Francisco

Leonard Peltier Turns 71 on Saturday, September 12

SAN FRANCISCO – Leonard Peltier has been behind bars practically 40 years. No one knows who shot the FBI agents on the Jumping Bull Property in 1975. The other activists were declared not-guilty because they were acting in self defense. Someone had to be found guilty and with trumped up charges and manufactured evidence, Leonard Peltier, was the fall guy.

This Saturday is Leonard’s 71 birthday. Aim-West is throwing a birthday party at San Francisco California Institute of Integral Studies, 1453 Mission Street (between 10-11 street), San Francisco. The party to free Leonard begins at 12:30 pm with Teo Kalli traditional danzantes, All Nation Singers, rappers, and much more!

The public is invited. The press is welcome, too. Call the White House and demand executive clemency for Leonard. This 2016 when Obama leaves office may be the last chance for Leonard’s release; 202-456-1212. Please share with allies. www.aim-west.org

I see Leonard and myself have become elders while waiting for his release and pardon for a crime he did not commit. Lets HOPE President Obama wlll give Leonard a full pardon and release from his cell to join us all in celebrate his birthday. lets hope Obama WILL STOP AND HELP NATIVE AMERICANS INSTEAD OF LIP SERVICE NATIVE AMERICANS COUNT THE SAME WAY WITH OUR BLACK BROTHERS.

Leonard, I pray you will be released this year. I know many lied to get you put in prison.you have done the time for a crime you did not do. Semding up prayers for you. Time you get out to see your family.

to leonard peltier: that you are still in prison is a national tragedy. that you ever went to prison is a travesty of justice. if there is a petition out there that would get to the president, i’d sign it in a heartbeat. if there isn’t one, there should be. what you have endured is ….words fail me.
